I’m on the same wavelength as Xzontar.
I had my own ‘characters’ that I created about 6 years ago, and began daydreaming about them. Over the years I developed many new characters, and just as I was going to sleep I would daydream scenarios of them. I have a character which isn’t actually me, but shapes my personality (IIRC this was mentioned earlier). I never told anyone about my characters because they’d think that I’m weird, but now I’m happy to share them because I know other people have created characters. Even today, I still enter the world I created (I named the world Eternos) and meet with my ‘characters’. It can be fun the vast majority of the time.
This sounds like an interesting way to have a lucid dream. It will be a great, new experience because I’ve never had a dream involving my characters, just a daydream. I’ll try it tonight
Woohoo! This thread is alive with new people~! jumps about
Hello Phantasos and Tera !
Phantasos - Oo a contract? I don’t think I ever made a contract with my characters…I only explained to them their purposes of being created (Dream protection, LDs etc) and introduce them to the other family members XD It’s great you’re already seeing signs of Yumi! That’s a great start I bet you’ll be seeing her more often soon !
Teraflare8866 - Haha I felt the same way too but that’s why this thread is here right? For all of us people with characters who share our joy and tears. ^^
Yes, it’s definately fun! My characters and I like going sight-seeing and shopping XD
The most recent character-involved dream was with both Desmond and Thunzar (Desmond finally appears TwT) Thunzar was smiling at me… he was wearing a hooded black jacket and blue pants and when I look to my left, I saw Desmond walking down the runway (That model fashion show thingy) and crowds at both sides. I was overjoyed to see them but then the stupid alarm clock woke me up! T_T It’s great seeing Desmond doing his modelling job TwT
My characters and I created a “family crest” for ourselves, it’s a pretty simple design but well, we loved it! XD
In magick servitors are considered as entities, created from occultists unconscious part of the mind to fulfil his desires. It is well-developed tech within magick tradition, so I followed usual route. Contract is useful to understand which rights you are granting to servitor, what his/her task is, and what his/her incentives are.
By the way, were you able to get LDs from your characters?
Yes, I do. In fact, whenever I see my characters, I will become lucid unless they’re in a different form…but I usually wake up right after that. ~.~ I once became lucid upon hearing Desmond’s voice calming the panicky me in the middle of a nightmare telling me it’s only a dream and nothings going to hurt me…I’ll never forget that voice and experience.
The recent one with Desmond and Thunzar, I was at the verge of becoming lucid but the alarm woke me up before I even got the chance to talk to them T__T
I tried this method on Wednesday but had no success.
On Thursday I imagined my characters would make me lucid, and that night I had a lucid dream. At one point in the dream my characters appeared, but the dream didn’t last long unfortunately (I did catch out a false awakening but I lost lucidity partway through that). I’ll give it another shot tonight and remember to stabilise the dream.
Sometimes it can be hard to remember all of your characters if you have too many. Over the past years I’ve had around 15-20 characters but now I have about 7 characters (one of them being named Teraflare, hence my username). I’ll try harder again tonight.
I might plan a really awesome LD with my characters. That would be epic
Wow, this is remarkable! I’m a glad to see the three of you here C:
Phantasos: I completely understand the vibe you get from the current approach, We are somewhat lax in the actual achievement of lucidity I think. C: Funny enough, I’ve heard of something like your approach on this thread before! You’re certainly adding variety to this thread, and I’m happy you’re updating us C: Thanks! It would be lovely and interesting to continue hearing of your approach.
Teraflare8866: You know, a lot of people (as I’ve learned through this thread in the last 3 years) make characters, and feel embarrassed about sharing them because of social taboos. I’m just glad some find their way here. I’m slowly becoming aware how very common character creation is indeed… I wouldn’t doubt a good number of our friends are invested in characters as well! I wish you luck in your next attempts for lucidity, and thank you for your updates C: And: Epic dreams with characters are epic. Some of my most exciting ‘epic’ dreams were adventures with my characters!
Melody: Nice to see you again C: Sorry to hear of your waking-upness upon becoming lucid. Perhaps you’re getting too excited? Try to ground yourself next tim-- It helped me when I’d get too excited. (By ground I mean calm, or just command your dreams verbally)
I definitely will keep on trying - the end result will be spectacular. Even if I wake up during an epic character dream I will try to continue the dream by WILDing (which I really need to learn), or by trying another night.
So I tried this again last night, and had a lucid dream (two nights in a row). Instead, my friend came up to me and made me lucid (by saying weird things, and managed to realise it was odd). Unfortunately I had no characters in my dream but I did fly into space and I managed to launch a few planets into each other. It was fun
At one point I asked one of my friends about these characters, and it turns out he has some as wel!!
I’d like to thank you for a great LDing method; and I’m glad I’ve found some people who also have characters!
Hi, there. I don’t have characters but I have to say I don’t find it weird at all, I actually find you guys pretty cool!
Anyway, I’ve been having some good results with something I think could help you with CALD? First I’m practicing meditation which is awesome and can have great results for LD’ing! But more precisely, I’ve been meditating while listening to theta brainwaves.
Now here’s where I think this might be a good idea to try: I’ve been, while in meditation, gently trying to talk to my SC. I say simple things like “I really want to have a LD tonight” and then spend some time focussing on the FEELING of wanting an LD and getting lucid. The results have been great for me So, seeing as the SC would control the characters (right?) Perhaps you could ask, as I did, for your SC to get your characters in a dream and make you lucid. Or you could try to talk to them directly! And focus on the ‘feeling’ they give you. Happy feelings really help, so your SC/characters know LD’ing makes you feel really good! While in theta and meditating the SC is much more reachable
Terraflare8866: It’s great to hear of your results! C: Bets of luck on the WILDing, I love trying-- it’s just a crazy experience! I’m glad to hear that things seem to be going well, I hope your characters show up soon for some good fun C: If you’re comfortable with it, why not ask your friend if your could get your characters together for a roleplay? It’s loads of fun to have a RP-buddy, and tons more meaningful than just the occasional random person in a RP chatroom.
mattias: Thanks for dropping by! And the suggestions are great C: I love listening to the theta-wave stuff, and it always give me a more interesting time when attempting WILD when I use Theta wave music.
I like your idea about focussing on the feeling, CALD lacks structure when it comes to the ‘pre-bedtime’ conversation with characters, and perhaps talking about specific stuff like the intent to lucid dream, as well as the feeling of it(if one has already had a lucid) would be useful C: .
I appreciate that you don’t find us strange You come off as rather nice as well ^^
Theta brainwaves? Aren’t they the brainwaves that occurs when in REM Sleep (hence you can induce lucid dreams)? Because I think I have some somewhere, and this may help me with WILDing so I can have a lucid dream involving my characters. The biggest hurdle for me in WILDing is probably HH or SP, I’ve experienced both and they can be frightening (but cool at the same time).
Just remembered something - I’ve been up for about 20 minutes so I think I could try WBTB conjunctioned with WILD. Hopefully this will produce an awesome LD with my characters.
I bet you’ll be seeing her more often soon !
You come off as rather nice as well ^^
